ATP Wimbledon Best Bets Including Ruud vs Fognini

ATP Wimbledon 1/32-Finals

Fognini – Ruud: 03.07.2024 12:00 CEST
H2H: 0-3

Fabio Fognini has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Mallorca, Fognini reached the 1/8-Finals where he lost against Mensik in three sets. That was also his first grass court tournament of the season. Here at Wimbledon, Fognini defeated van Assche in the first round. Fabio was great under pressure, saving 10/11 breakpoints. It was overall a solid performance from Fognini. Last year, Fabio did not play any grass court matches. In 2022 at Wimbledon, Fognini lost in the first round against Griekspoor.

Casper Ruud has won four of his last five matches. At the beginning of the month, Casper reached the semifinals at the French Open where he lost against Alexander Zverev in four sets. That was also his last competitive match. Here at Wimbledon, Ruud defeated Bolt in three tight sets. Casper usually tries to avoid grass court tournaments. So far in his career, Ruud has only won five competitive matches on grass. Last year on grass, Ruud played only at Wimbledon, where he lost in the second round against Liam Broady.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Ruud is the big favorite in this matchup. Looking at his previous grass court matches, we can not agree with that. Fognini had a solid first round performance, so we believe that he will keep this match tight.

That being said, Fognini covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Fabio Fognini +5.5 games handicap @2.00 @bet365

Muller – Medvedev: 03.07.2024 14:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Alexandre Muller has won three of his last five matches. Two weeks ago, Muller played at the challenger tournament in Sassuolo where he lost in the first round against De Jong. So far this season, Muller has not played any tournaments on grass. Here at Wimbledon, Muller defeated Gaston in tight straight sets. Alexandre was 2-5 down in the second set, but turned around the set and won in straight sets in the end. Last year at Wimbledon, Muller lost in the second round against Alcaraz in tight straight sets.

Daniil Medvedev has won three of his last five matches. After losing against de Minaur in the 1/8-Finals at the French Open, Daniil has played only one preparation tournament for Wimbledon. Two weeks ago in Halle, Medvedev lost against Zhang in three tight sets as we predicted. Here at Wimbledon, Medvedev won his first round match against Kovacevic in straight sets. Daniil saved all three breakpoints, and had a great serving performance. Besides reaching the semifinals last year at Wimbledon where he lost against Alcaraz, Daniil never had any remarkable results on grass.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Medvedev is the huge favorite in this matchup. As we previously mentioned, Medvedev never had any remarkable results on grass. Muller had a solid first round performance, so we believe that he will keep this match tight.

That being said, Muller covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Alexandre Muller +8.5 games handicap @1.91 @bet365
